Key settings:

Create multiple shipping methods

Customize rates for product groups or particular products

Edit and import table rates in one click

Provide customers with important info via comments on product and checkout pages

You can both create a new shipping method or correct the existing ones. To edit already created shipping method, just click on it in the table. Delete, Activate or Inactivate methods in the Actions dropdown menu.

Shipping Areas

To manage all the rules and restrictions efficiently, arrange shipping destinations into areas and apply restriction rules to the whole area at once. Include or exclude from the area different countries, states, regions, cities, zip codes, etc. For example, you can easily block delivery for the distant regions by creating the appropriate shipping area that includes such destinations.

Go to Stores → Sales → Shipping Areas.

Create and easily manage all shipping areas on a handy grid, where you can see the Name, Description and Status of each area.

Edit or Delete a rule via Select dropdown menu in the Action column.

To perform mass actions, tick the rules and choose the necessary variant from the Actions dropdown. Delete, Duplicate or Change Status in one click.

Magento 2 Shipping Suite is compatible with Multi Address Checkout. Thus you can enable your customers to ship an order to multiple addresses during checkout, and determine the maximum number of addresses to which an order can be shipped.

If the shipping carrier is enabled, but the method is still not visible, make sure that the shipping method contains all the rates related to the shipping types of products contained in the cart. To be displayed to customers, the shipping method should contain rates for all shipping types, that are found in the cart. Otherwise, the shipping method will not be visible. If the mentioned issue is a reason, the method will become available after adding a new rate with a Shipping Type “All” to the method.

If the For products with different shipping types field in the shipping methods settings is set to “Sum up rates”, but the rates don't sum up:

Check if these rates belong to the same shipping method. If not, the rates will not be summed up as the setting, mentioned above, works only for the rates with different Shipping Types in the selfsame shipping method.

If the shipping rule you’ve created doesn’t work, please, make sure, that:

there are no other active rules, that should not be applied: if two or more restrictions are in the active status, they will be applied contemporaneously;

the conditions are set correctly.

To avoid undesirable results, make sure there are no active rules that shouldn't be applied. Let’s check the situation: you have several shipping rules and all of them are set as active. Rule 1 has the highest priority, Rule 2 has lower priority and Rule 3 has the lowest one. That’s how it will work when the cart contents meet all active shipping rules conditions:

Rule 1 will be applied first. It is set to replace a shipping rate of any one item in the cart with $0.50.

Rule 2 will be applied the second. It replaces the cost of shipping for the whole order with $15.

Rule 3 will be applied the last. This rule sets free shipping for all items in the cart. This means, that shipping rate for the whole order will constitute $0.

Use Conditions tab to restrict the cases of the rule application.
